● If you are running the test from the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows), make sure the printer is not busy
completing another task, such as receiving a fax or making a copy. Check the display for a message
indicating that the printer is busy. If it is busy, wait until it is nished and in the idle state before running
the test.
● If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that
plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the
telephone wall jack.
After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready
for faxing. If the Fax Hardware Test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact HP
support. Go to
www.support.hp.com . This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct
many common printer problems. If prompted, select your country/region, and then click All HP Contacts for
information on calling for technical support.
